of particular importance this year, and among the expected attendees as the family of evan gershkovich, the wall street journal reporter remains imprisoned in russia after he was detained in march and charged with spying, despite strong denials from the us government. other expected guests include wnba star and two—time olympic gold medallist brittney griner, it comes four months after she was released from detainment in russia where she had beenjailed on drugs charges. jeremy to discuss the event is jill charges. jeremy to discuss the event isjill a percent, former executive of the new york times, thank you for taking the time to be with us. i understand that new york times journalist do not attend this dinner, why is that? because we felt, there _ dinner, why is that? because we felt, there senior _ dinner, why is that? because we felt, there senior editors - dinner, why is that? because we felt, there senior editors at - felt, there senior editors at the times, that the party and the times, that the party and the dinner had become kind of an unseemly display of

journalists paddling around with, you know, theirfamous and prominent guests, and that it created an appearance that was, you know, distasteful to the public. journalists are supposed to remain independent from the people they cover and, you know, here they are sort of asking a favour of powerful people in washington, to come and be their impressive date at these parties that are held there. a, these parties that are held there. ., ,, .,, there. may i ask you, was there a crystallising — there. may i ask you, was there a crystallising moment - there. may i ask you, was there a crystallising moment or- there. may i ask you, was there a crystallising moment or an . a crystallising moment or an example that you can give that made you feel like that? h0. made you feel like that? no, but i think— made you feel like that? no, but i think we _ made you feel like that? iifr, but i think we stopped going on about 2000 or even 1999. there wasn't really. but i know, you know, that i had gone to

similar annual dinners in washington and certainly around their break out of the war in iraq and immediate aftermath of 9/11, there was this spirit of washington, the spirit in washington, the spirit in washington was very much in display at these gala dinners of journalists display at these gala dinners ofjournalists being, you know, i with the government —— aligned with the government in the fight against our quote unquote enemies. and that felt, you know, the wrong, the wrong portrait to be sending to the world as well, at least to me. wright, jill, but if we are talking about optics, others might argue that essentially this is a moment to celebrate a free press in a country that has a free press, off the back of a time when the former

president donald trump had called journalists at one point the enemy of the people. yes. there is truth _ the enemy of the people. yes. there is truth to _ the enemy of the people. yes. there is truth to that. - the enemy of the people. yes. there is truth to that. i - there is truth to that. i certainly have been a fighter for freedom of the press for as long as i have been a working journalist and certainly when i was executive editor of the times as well, but i think there are other ways for journalists who both cherish and show they are love and importance for the first amendment, which is what protects freedom of the press, other than getting in black tie and dresses and, you know, hanging around with movie stars and the like. and this kind of dinner. i am glad brittney griner is going, i think it is perfectly appropriate. i know

both the journalist and the officials at the dinner will demand the freedom of the wall streetjournal�*s reporter, and iron fairly and inhumanely detained in russia, so those are all good things. it is not like you know, my feelings about the dinner are vehement and i want it shut down. it is just that at a certain point i didn't think it was the most appropriate way to... to showboat the strengths, the independents, and the freedom of the press. jill. independents, and the freedom of the pres— of the press. jill, you mentioned _ of the press. jill, you mentioned there - of the press. jill, you | mentioned there evan gershkovich who is still in prison in russia as we know and often these white house dinners and speeches are very closely watched, they often produce viable moments, isn't that then an opportunity to draw even more attention to the plight of journalists like gershkovich?

it might be, but i predict the viral moment will not be what is said about him but will be coming in now, humorous lines from the president's speech or other... those are the viral moment. and we'll see, i'd be happy to be proven wrong. well, we will closely _ happy to be proven wrong. well, we will closely be _ happy to be proven wrong. well, we will closely be watching - we will closely be watching those speeches as well. this is one of the first big events since president biden announced he is running, do you think there will be campaigning in that speech? what kind of topics do you think he might raise? ~ ., �* , ., raise? well, it won't be overt campaigning _ raise? well, it won't be overt campaigning but _ raise? well, it won't be overt campaigning but by _ raise? well, it won't be overt campaigning but by showing l raise? well, it won't be overt l campaigning but by showing up and showing that he is sharp and showing that he is sharp and having a queue humorous zingers, it is an opportunity for him at a time when his age and faculties are being questioned by some to show

happened yesterday, and this morning the ministry of defence in the uk said that it was, there was a realistic positivity that russia was attempting to intercept ukraine reserve unit cemetary surprise that have been provided by western countries to ukraine, there is a military airfield in that direction here, so that perhaps was a target of this attack that was carried out yesterday here in this town. obviously, this is happening as the ukrainians are preparing a counteroffensive to try to take back territory that is now under occupation, so perhaps this is an indication of how russia is likely to respond to any ukrainian advances. in other news, tens of thousands of israelis have again taken to the streets of tel aviv to protest against prime minister benjamin netanyahu's government plan to push through reforms and the judiciary. they include

curbing the supreme court and given the government control over the appointment ofjudges. it is now the 17th week of protest against the plans which critics see as a threat to democracy. lawmakers are due to return to parliament on monday. the polish government has seized control of a school used to teach the children of russian diplomats. the building is close to the russian embassy in warsaw and has been the subject of legal battles for the past year. the polish government insists it is now the 17th week of protest against the plans which critics see as a threat to democracy. lawmakers are due to return to parliament on monday. the polish government has seized control of the school used to teach the children of russian diplomats. the building is close to the russian embassy in warsaw and has been the subject of legal battles for the past year. the polish government insisted belongs to the warsaw municipality but russia argues that taking it over infringes international rules of diplomacy. a group of afghan women protested in kabul on saturday, defying a crackdown on dissent. they are urging foreign nations not to formally recognise the taliban government ahead of a un summit next week. the united nations says it will discuss a durable way forward for the country at a summit in doha. to the uk now and some hospital bosses have warned that tomorrow's mac strike by nurses

in england could be a significant risk to safety. members of the royal college of nursing are working out from eight o'clock until midnight on monday and the union insists it is engaging with hospitals to ensure safe staffing levels. health workers represented by another union, unite, have also rejected the same pay deal and say that they will escalate industrial action. the gmb union which represents abbott's workers, nurses, porters and radiographers have accepted an nhs pay offer during members of unison who accepted that deal two weeks ago. simonjones has reports. at the royal preston hospital, they're preparing for a challenging bank holiday weekend. members of the rcn are set to walk out tomorrow and, for the first time, this will include nurses in emergency departments, intensive care units, and those working in cancer care at affected hospitals. with emergency departments, we can't...

no—one plans to have an accident. to become unwell and it's really unpredictable. so, whether it's daytime, night—time, people are still going to come in. rcn members rejected a 5% pay offer, plus a one—off payment. some other unions, though, have voted to accept the deal. nhs bosses say the walk—out means staffing levels in parts of the country will be exceptionally low during an already stretched weekend. critical care will be prioritised. some of the things we want to do in the health service we won't be able to do, and we are a health service that is always running on hot. you know, we always run on full capacity, so if you take capacity out even for a day, then it has knock—on effects. here at great ormond street hospital for children in london, managers yesterday declared an incident to flag up they had serious concerns about ensuring patient safety during the strike. the rcn said it quickly agreed that some of its members could turn up for work during the action. the hospital says it's grateful. the rcn insists patients won't be abandoned. those really acute and critical services are included in the strike this time round.

we have agreed, in the royal college of nursing, a range of critical safety exemptions within those services. we've been working for two weeks now with nhs england to ensure that those exemptions are put in place. the strike is shorter than planned, after the high court ruled continuing it into tuesday would be unlawful as the mandate had run out. the government says any action is unnecessary as nurses have been offered a "fair and reasonable" deal. simon jones, bbc news. staying in the uk. stone is destiny has arrived at westminster abbey for the coronation of james charles westminster abbey for the coronation ofjames charles iii next saturday. the stone is an ancient —— king charles iii next saturday. the stone is an ancient symbol. nicholas witchell has more.

reunited for the coronation, the ancient stone, the stone of destiny, on which scottish kings were crowned, and the ancient throne, the 700—year—old coronation chair, which was constructed for edward i — the english king who seized the stone and brought it to london. choir sings the stone was returned to scotland nearly 30 years ago. it's been brought from edinburgh and entrusted to the abbey temporarily. it is committed to your care and safekeeping until it is returned after his majesty's coronation. so many things are being made ready. these are some of the robes that will be worn by the king and queen on the day. for westminster abbey, it's all an operation of great complexity. getting all those bits lined up

and the wonderful build that is going on way behind me, because the abbey looks very, very different, that is complex. so, is it all going to be ready on time? it will be, it will be. it's going to be magnificent. they sing "god save the king" and at the heart of it all will be an ancient slab of sandstone on which kings are said to have been crowned for a thousand years. nicholas witchell, bbc news, at westminster abbey. and tonight more details of the coronation have been released and earlier i spoke to our religion editors for all the details. thank you forjoining us, what new details will be learning about the ceremony? there are lots of new details that have come out of the office of the archbishop of canterbury lambeth palace.

there is lots that doesn't change over centuries of coronation services but there are also some striking changes from the last creation service in 1953, most notably perhaps, or certainly one of the things we talked about, is the fact that during this service are not just that during this service are notjust people in westminster abbey but everyone action is going to be asked if they want to participate in thisjoint swearing of allegiance to the king, to his heirs, and his successors, something they are calling a chorus of millions. we also know for the first time the king is going to pray out loud. we know also that they also know for the first time the king is going to pray out loud. we know also that there will be a hymn sung in a non——— in the non—english languages is of britain, so lots of nuggets of britain, so lots of nuggets of differences in what remains of differences in what remains of course very religious service. b, of course very religious service-— service. a traditional religious _ service. a traditional religious service - service. a traditional religious service but| religious service but nevertheless there has also

been a lot of talk about how the service might try to reflect modern britain. how well it aim to do that? well, well it aim to do that? well, we know _ well it aim to do that? well, we know that _ well it aim to do that? well, we know that for _ well it aim to do that? well, we know that for the - well it aim to do that? well, we know that for the first. well it aim to do that? well, l we know that for the first time there is going to be participation of non—christian faith leaders, both during the service, where they will present various bits of regalia to the king, but also there will be faith leaders greeting of the king at the end of the service, we know that the catholic leader of england and wales is going to be involved in a blessing as well. so lots of new elements. but there has been so much speculation over the years that the coronation oath would change, that the king would want to change the oath to reflect an aspiration to protect the practice of all faiths and beliefs and notjust the practice of the faith of the practice of the faith of the church of england. well, after all of that, in the end we now know that the oath is not going to change and instead what is going to happen is that the archbishop of canterbury,

who is leading the service, is going to state something to reflect that aspiration, but they will be those progressives who will say, look, this is the moment where the king is sort of entering into an oral oath with the asian —— with the nation and his subjects and perhaps he should have reflected better that he was going to protect all faiths. nevertheless, there will be lots of visual differences from corrections gone by, with the participation of these faith leaders. .. leaders. our religion edited there, leaders. our religion edited there. great _ leaders. our religion edited there, great to _ leaders. our religion edited there, great to talk - leaders. our religion edited there, great to talk to - leaders. our religion edited there, great to talk to you, | there, great to talk to you, thank you. here in the us, 13—year—old schoolboy is being held as —— hailed a hero after this happened. 66 but genes were on their school bus when you can see the driver passes out. 13—year—old dillon reeves sitting about five rows back, he what happened unevenly leapt

hello, on saturday, the temperature reached 20 celsius in a few locations across the uk but in northern england and parts of scotland it felt chilly. sunday will feel a little warmer in these areas but we are expecting some showers, and if we have a look at the satellite picture, there is a lot of cloud lurking around the uk, you can seed typically around western areas, but the air is coming from the south, it is a virtually mild air mass, this is what that yellow colour is indicating so a milder current of air all the way from the southern climes. here is the forecast for the early hours, an extensive cloud with showers right from the word go. in the south—east and east anglia we have had clear

skies overnight, it will be colder in london as well. plenty of cloud and showers through the morning into the afternoon, let's have a look at afternoon, let's have a look at a snapshot at tpm. across scotland, you can see whether showers are, in the western isles, a few in the lowlands, thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon across northern ireland, even some downpours, showers around merseyside coming to lancashire, parts of wales, the south—west of england, and one or two showers bring elsewhere. but note is the extreme south—east, east anglia, lincolnshire, sunshine here, look a much warmer it is going to be across northern england and parts of scotland, the lower temperature will actually be out towards the west and the south—west here where we will have extensive cloud. and showers in the cloud lingers into sunday evening. look at bank holiday monday. so, through the night into monday, weatherfronts so, through the night into monday, weather fronts across the uk, but we are fairly close to high pressure out towards the south—west here, so actually a pretty decent day,

we could have some showers in south—eastern bank holiday monday. also notice that the wind arrows, the air is coming from the north, because the final that scotland, really chilly and low at 6 degrees, a decrease in stornoway, glasgow it is 15, and it is around 16 celsius, so all in all not a bad bank holiday monday on the way. midway, high pressure is close by and that basically means settled dry weather and thatis means settled dry weather and that is reflected in the outlet, you can see wednesday and thursday, sunny skies for cardiff and also for london. that's it from me, have a great sunday.
